About

Hi, I'm Austin, a Software Engineer, I'm a firm believer in life long learning and personal development, for an uncaged and receptive mind knows no boundaries. I intend to leverage these skills that I've built and currently building towards developing efficient software solutions channeled towards solving human problems. Skills/Interests:

ASP.NET

Core, MVC, Microsoft SQL Server, Git, GitHub, REST API, React, JavaScript. When I'm not coding you certainly would find me binging on movies, playing table tennis, reading and going for events.
